Correction.What absolute nonsense! Coach built prams as we call them in the uk are the Rolls Royce of baby transport. Clue the Royal Family who still use vintage prams to walk their babies. They are sturdy, roomy, allowing the baby to move, and well built with perfect suspension. When baby is old enough he/ she can be propped up with a pillow or some prams have a fitted backsupport that can be pulled up. This allows baby and toddler to view the world from high up( away from exhaust fumes and facing the parent so there is eye contact and communication between both. Shopping can be stacked in the wire basket underneath the pram and as for being awkward to steer, one soon gets used to manoeuvring the pram and it becomes second nature. Coach built prams are beautiful, safe and practical, just 3 reasons why you SHOULD use a vintage stroller!

I recently read your article about why a vintage stroller shouldnt be used for a baby! I used vintage prams for all of my 6 babies all different models and all my little ones were pushed around in comfort. The prams with their large spokes wheels tackled all terrains from pavements, gravel, bumpy side tracks etc etc without any problems as the chassis were well sprung! The hoods and aprons kept them warm and dry in the worst of the British weather and coldest winter! The large sun canopy provided perfect shade during the summer. Nowadays mums use blankets slung over the hoods which create oven like temperatures for baby! I found that my pram folded perfectly and fitted in my modern family car without any problem. I also used my pram well beyond the age where my little one was sitting up with the use of the backrest that most vintage prams have! What I have found however is that my more modern prams I have used have been flimsy cheaply buit and very small meaning I have had to purchase several prams during my childs development. The swivel wheels are a nightmare and the rubber on the tyres wears out alarming quick. I hate to see babies cramped into car seats that provide no space for comfort. These children will grow up with back problems rest assured! Considering Silvercross still manufactures these vintage style prams would say that there is still a market for them. They are classy stylish and a dream to push! The child has room to move and spread out and has the comfort of a soft mattress and spring suspension! These modern prams will be forgotten about within a few years but the style and grace of a coach pram is always remembered. Even the royal family used a vintage pram for the future king so that speaks volumes! Everyone has the right to choose what they use for their little ones! Rest assured my children will push their children in vintage prams as I will make sure I buy them one!

Absolute rubbish..
Vintage prams excellent in quality..too many on already crowded streets..good grief..your reasons are ridiculous..I would like to see how many modern prams are still fit to be used 70-80 years later..they fall apart with use for one baby..vintage prams are heirlooms..not like the modern prams you are obviously trying to sell..

Biggest load of rubbish I have ever read
